Determining evidence-based practices helps guide educators on how to teach. In this study, researchers replicated, updated, and extended the review of the literature on mathematics interventions for students with MID by Hord and Bouck (2012). The researchers determined the current state of the literature on academic mathematics interventions for…

Extended diaper wearing may limit access to inclusive opportunities including general education settings, summer camps, community-based programming, and job opportunities. Toilet training may be delayed due to more pressing concerns, such as challenging behavior. Individualized education plans should include toilet training children with…

Research indicates that students with intellectual disability (ID) frequently engage in off-task and disruptive behaviors, which may lead to the exclusion of these students from general education classrooms and school dropouts. In the current study, researchers implemented self-monitoring to improve the on-task behaviors of four participants with…

Using the World Health Organization Quality of Life- BREF (WHOQOL-BREF, 1997) and Chao's (2016) Self-Determination Scale for College Students (SDSCS), the study examined college students with autism perceptions of their self-determination skills and quality of life. The study sought to identify the levels of self-determination skills and quality…

Students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) require effective academic interventions tailored to their distinctive learning characteristics. This is especially important in mathematics since approximately a quarter of learners with ASD have a mathematics learning disability. This meta-analysis examined the effectiveness of mathematics…

As increasing numbers of autistic students pursue postsecondary education, it is important to understand the supports and barriers inherent in various institution types. Liberal arts colleges, with small class sizes and personalized learning environments, might be appealing to autistic students and their families. This study aims to explore the…

Students with autism spectrum disorder have been shown to benefit both academically and socially from inclusion in general education classrooms, but concerns remain about the persistence of separate special education settings around the world. Using special education program placement data from the Canadian province of Ontario and census data…

It is important for teachers and researchers to have access to evidence-based practices that target teaching specific content area skills, such as mathematics, to students with ASD (Hume et al., 2021). Previous literature reviews targeting mathematics interventions for students with ASD (Barnett & Cleary, 2016; Gevarter et al., 2016; King et…

This study investigated the perceptions of teachers of students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) of special education transition services, specifically transition planning in Saudi Arabia. Two different study populations were recruited and asked to fill a questionnaire. The researcher used descriptive (frequency), inferential (ANOVA [n = 357]…

Discrete trial teaching (DTT) is a common teaching methodology used within intervention for autistics/individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Practice recommendations related to using DTT for receptive language instruction includes the desired size of the array of stimuli to be presented. Some recommendations include ensuring…

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA) of 2004 requires that all students with disabilities participate and progress in the general education curriculum. Although IDEA requires individualized education program (IEP) teams to include academic and life skills goals in a students' as necessary to meet their individual…

Communication deficits are one of the main characteristics of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Self-injurious behavior (SIB) in individuals with ASDs often occurs due to the individuals' lack of social-communicative abilities to express what they want (e.g., attention; access to tangible items; help). Many researchers have successfully used…

Researchers have investigated several variations of video prompting (VP), including a recent version called continuous video prompting (CVP). When using CVP, a practitioner plays videos of each task step identically to what would be seen when using VP. With CVP, however, the video for a given task step repeats until the student completes the step…

The current study compared a simultaneous prompting strategy to a most-to-least prompting strategy for three children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. The prompting procedures were used to teach expressive label targets via direct telehealth. Results of the adapted alternating treatments design nestled within a multiple-baseline design…

This literature review examined trends in the curricular focus and type of articles published on secondary curriculum for transition-age students with severe disabilities across a 40-year time span (1981-2020). We analyzed 397 peer-reviewed journal articles by decade. The number of articles published steadily declined from 1981-1990 to 2001-2010…
